Recipe Notes
HOT SAUCE TIPS
- Start with quality peppers for the utmost flavor. Also keep in mind the level of heat, not just the flavor of the peppers.
- Use a sweet bell pepper to offset the heat from the hot peppers.
- The amount of vinegar is just to create a slight sauce and the flavor of vinegar is not meant to be dominating.
- The hot sauce is meant to be chunky, so don't over process it.
- Adding a thin layer of oil over the top of the sauce helps preserve the sauce.
- Store the sauce in your fridge for up to 3 months.
- For the Salt--to use the full tablespoon of coarse salt, make sure you're using Kosher or Sea salt. If you're using table salt, then drop the salt 1 teaspoon - 1/12 teaspoon at most.
